More Bereavement Bags

Hi! A few weeks ago, my lovely friends Hazel and Sanj came over to make some Bereavement bags. Hazel doesn't sew, so she entertained us by playing the piano and guitar, and making us laugh!

Sanj and I made a bag each:

My lovely cousin Helen came over last weekend, and we made some more bereavement bags, which also involved a fair bit of unpicking seams when we were gossiping too much and not concentrating! We made two each. We now have 7 altogether. I'm not sure how many we should make before sending them off. Anyway, here's the collection so far. The four on the right are the new ones:

Bereavement Bags

Hi. I recently joined a Bag Making group on Facebook, where I heard about 'Bereavement Bags'. The bags are for children who have lost a parent or close relative, and depending on the age of the child, they contain things to comfort them, and help them cope with their grief. There's more about the initiative, here.

They are asking for people to make the bags, so I thought I'd have a go. It was refreshingly straightforward compared to the seagulls bag!
